Where did "quicky2g" come from?

I used to play online chess when I was a teenager. Just before the year 2000,
I was playing online and needed to come up with a nickname for Yahoo games.
I was a slow player and most of the people playing wanted games that would end quickly to raise their rating.
To trick them into playing games on my board with my set of rules,
I wanted to call myself "quicky" but the name was already taken.
I added "2g" or 2 grand (2000) since it was so close to the new millenium.
The name stuck and I've used it ever since.
